Study Shows Women More Suspicious of Non-Physician Owned Clinics
Recent study shows women surveyed are concerned about the medical credentials of owners of cosmetic clinics.
Toronto, Ontario May 1, 2007 -- In a recent survey conducted by the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM), 78% of women surveyed across the United States were concerned about the medical credentials of owners of cosmetic medical clinics. The study suggests that clinics owned by physicians and cosmetic surgeons were more likely to be trusted than non-physician owned clinics.
Women aged 21-60 were surveyed in the 2007 Aesthetic Medicine Consumer Study, conducted by IAPAM in March as an indication of current trends in the field. The association is comprised of physicians and their supporters, voluntary members dedicated to the advancement and preservation of ethical standards in cosmetic medicine. |
